This page will walk you through the steps to get set up to play games with VirZOOM using your Oculus Rift and PC. To do this, install our free collection of exercise games, VirZOOM Arcade, and, optionally, register your VirZOOM device and a VirZOOM account. If you haven't already set up your VZ Bike Controller or VZ Sensor, should go do that step first before you return here.

You can get VirZOOM Arcade from Steam, an online game service. If you don't already have Steam set up, be sure to do the following:

  1. Go to the Steam website and click the green INSTALL button in the upper right.

  2. Launch the Steam application you just installed and create a Steam account. (This is used to make and track purchases on Steam, not in VirZOOM games. We're going to make a separate VirZOOM account later.)

  3. Search for VirZOOM Arcade in Steam, and click to INSTALL it.

  4. Launch Oculus Home if you haven't yet. (See Oculus Setup for details if you don't have it installed already.)

  5. Back in Steam, you can find VirZOOM Arcade in the "Library" section of Steam. Click PLAY to launch it, and when it asks if you want to play in SteamVR mode or Oculus VR mode, choose Oculus VR mode.

    2. If you're using your own exercise bike (which must have VZ Sensor attached), start pedaling at least 90 degrees per second.
    3. If you're using a handheld controller, press the button indicated on your screen to use a controller instead of a bike.
  3. Make note of the code on the bottom of your screen and/or in your headset.

  4. Go to virzoom.com/register and enter your authorization code.

  5. Follow the instructions to create a VirZOOM account.
